인간을 연구하기 위해서는 동물과 같이 연구해야한다? 밥먹고 와서 투비 컨티뉴드~~ |
There is controversial statement studying animal's behavior is essential to investigate human. Some people agree with this statement since human can be basically classified an animal. In this sense, I support the idea with several reasons; to find similarity between human and animal, to prove difference between them and to study evolutionary evidence. First, there are several similar instincts between human and animals. According to biology human is said to belong to animal. In common both have fundamental traces which show sexual desire to breed offspring and natural aspire to find food to eat. For example, people automatically lead to other sex to marry and have children, and they use their own attractions to draw attention from opposite sex such as singing, caring or giving presents. Likewise, every species of animal has different method to attract an interest from other sex. In the case of a firefly, male firefly use light to allure female firefly at night.
Next, in essence a human and an animal have differences. As it said, most mankind make decision on the basis of sound reason while animals usually make decision out of instinctive desire. There is different process of decision making. In the case of humanity, they see the object and judge through meditation, thinking process. Then, they move into actions in accordance with their judgment. However, animals without thinking see object and they determine whether to be defensive to protect themselves or to be offensive to catch games. Finally, to study human’s evolutionary remains, we need to know animals' behavior first. Before the world civilized greatly, people in the ancient didn't have myriad conventions and facilities to enjoy their lives. Their lives were likely close to animals’. According to evolutionist, at first stage mankind crept like a monkey, next they stood up on two feet like present humanity. On the process, many characteristics of human share with animals’ in gathering and hunting food, living atmosphere and other habits.
To sum, scientists have studied animals’ behavior to read and analyze human’s character. I believe that investigation of animal’s behavior is helpful to study of human it self since it could find similarity and differences between them and help people understand more about their ancient ancestor’s life.
